- St. Louis Cardinals () Charles Anthony "Chip" Marshall (born Charles Anthony Marchlewicz; August 28, 1919 – April 15, 2007) was a professional baseball catcher who appeared in a single game for the 1941 St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB). Listed at 5 ft and 178 lb, he batted and threw right-handed.
Biography
Marshall played in the minor leagues from 1937 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1952. He served in the United States Army from June 1943 through October 1945. In 13 minor league seasons, he appeared in 1057 games, compiling a .240 batting average with 38 home runs and at least 155 RBIs. While predominantly a catcher, he also played 46 games as a second baseman in 1942.
Marshall's lone major league appearance came with the St. Louis Cardinals on June 14, 1941, in a home game against Brooklyn Dodgers played at Sportsman's Park. With the Cardinals losing in the eighth inning, 12–5, Marshall entered the game as a pinch runner, replacing fellow catcher Gus Mancuso, who had just reached first base on a fielder's choice.}} The Cardinals did not score in the bottom of the ninth, and Marshall did not have a plate appearance.
Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Marshall worked for the United States Postal Service after his professional baseball career, retiring in 1983. Marshall was married and had one daughter. He died in his home city in 2007, aged 87, and was interred there.
